The bread that gives strength (St. Damien of Molokai)

  Were it not for the constant presence of our divine Master in our humble chapel, I would not have found it possible to persevere in sharing the lot of the lepers in Molokai…  The Eucharist is the bread that gives strength… It is at once the most eloquent proof of His love and the most powerful means of fostering His love in us.  He gives Himself every day so that our hearts as burning coals may set afire the hearts of the faithful.

--Blessed Fr. Damien, Apostle to the Lepers of Molokai
